I have destroyed my shoulder from whitewater kayaking (13 dislocations in 3 years) and had to quit the sport! Moved into kiting 6 months after the the last dislocation and have been fine ever since! Granted I am no where at the level of Mr Zoon but with the amount of ligament damage I would venture to say that I have had a better chance of dislocating! Physio is essential and the comment about your shoulder hurting while sleeping is so spot on. You get up in the morning and have to work out the stiffness and wait for the pain to go away! Zoon will be fine!

No operation but a very progressive surgeon that believes surgery should be the last solution! Intense physio and proper exercising have made a huge difference! I also know when to call a session and pay attention to an differences in sensation to the shoulder! 4 years and injury free!
